Inside the tip part is convenient a guide channel is provided for the free end of the piston in addition to the thread groove. Such a guide channel is sufficient for a safe guidance of the piston, see above that no further guide elements are to be provided within the shaft need, even if a circular cylindrical hollow profile is used.
Der Hohlprofil-Schaft und der Kolben können gemeinsam oder voneinander getrennt in der Ublichen Weise sterilisiert werden.The hollow profile shaft and the piston can be together or from each other sterilized separately in the usual way.
In der Zeichnung ist als Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung die Spitze der Nadel wiedergegeben.In the drawing, the tip is an embodiment of the invention reproduced on the needle.
Ein hadelschaft 10 besteht aus einem kreiszylindrischen Hchlprofil. Im Bereich der Spitze ist der Schaft 10 bei 11 etwas gebogen. Im-Ubrigen ist das freie Ende 12 des Hohlprofile Schaftes 10 glatt ausgebildet. An de din Ende 12 gegenüberliegenden nicht dargestellten Ende des Schaftes 10 ist ein nicht dargestelltes Anschlußstück für chem nicht dargestellton Nadelhalter vorgesehen. Das Anschlußstück weist eine zentale Bohrung zum Durchführen eines Kolbens 13 auf, der innerhalb des Schaftes 10 geführt ist. An den nicht dtrg stellten Ende des Kolbens 13 ist im Bereich des Anschlußstückes und des nadelhalters eine Handhabe angeordnet, die eine axiale Verschiebung des Kolbens 13 innerhalb des Schaftes 10 gestattet.A hadel shaft 10 consists of a circular cylindrical Hchlprofil. In the area of the tip, the shaft 10 is slightly curved at 11. By the way, it is free end 12 of the hollow profile shaft 10 is smooth. At the end of 12 opposite end of the shaft 10, not shown, is a connecting piece, not shown intended for chem needle holders, not shown. The connector has a central bore for the passage of a piston 13, which is inside the shaft 10 is performed. At the end of the piston 13, which is not dtrg, is in the area of the Connection piece and the needle holder arranged a handle that allows axial displacement of the piston 13 within the shaft 10 is permitted.
Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel hat der « 10 ein kreiazylindrisches Hchlprofil und der Schieber-Kolben 13 einen Kreisquerschnitt. Der Kolben 13 besteht aus formstmbilem Federstahl. Das freie Ende des Kolbens 13 ist einseitig oder an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten derart abgeflacht, daß eine Zunge 14 entsteht. Eri des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Zunge 14 stwas gekrümmt.In the illustrated embodiment, the «10 has a circular cylindrical shape Hchlprofil and the slide piston 13 have a circular cross-section. The piston 13 consists Made of shapely spring steel. The free end of the piston 13 is on one side or on two opposite sides flattened so that a tongue 14 is formed. Eri In the illustrated embodiment, the tongue 14 is slightly curved.
Die Zunge 14 reicht Uber das freie Ende 12 des Schaftes 10 hinaus und ist in einer Rinne 15 geführt, die inneztaib eines Spitzenteils 16 ausgebildet ist. Der Spitzenteil 16 kann aus einem massiven Stück gefertigt sein, das an das freie Ende 12 des Schaftes 10 angeschlossen worden ist.The tongue 14 extends beyond the free end 12 of the shaft 10 and is guided in a channel 15 which is formed inside a tip part 16 is. The tip portion 16 can be made from a solid piece that is attached to the free end 12 of the shaft 10 has been connected.
Die Rinne 15 und eine einseitig offene Ausnehmung 17 fur einen Faden 18 können dann anschließend eingearbeitet wr den.The channel 15 and a recess 17 open on one side for a thread 18 can then be incorporated afterwards.
Zweckmäßigerweise besteht jedoch der Spitzenteil 16 aus einem vorgefertigten tUck, das anschließend mit des Schaft 10 verbunden wird und nur eine geringfügige Nachbearbeitung erforderlich macht. Dio selbständige Einheit 16 hat ln wesentlichen die Form der gekrümmten Spitze und ln Bereich des Anschlußendes einen äußeren Durchmesser, der des äußeren Durchmesser des Schaftes 10 im Bersich des Endes 12 entspricht. Im Bereich des Anschlußendes des Spitzenteils 16 ist ein Absatz vorgesehen, an den sich ein teilweise zylindrischer Ansatz 19 anschließt, dessen Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Schaftes 10 genau angepaßt ist.Appropriately, however, the tip part 16 consists of a prefabricated one tUck, which is then connected to the shaft 10 and only a minor one Makes post-processing necessary. The independent unit 16 has the essentials the shape of the curved tip and an outer diameter in the area of the connection end, that of the outer diameter of the shaft 10 in the area of the end 12 corresponds. In the area of the connection end of the tip part 16, a shoulder is provided to which a partially cylindrical extension 19 is connected, the outer diameter of which the The inner diameter of the shaft 10 is precisely matched.
Der Ansatz 19 weist ebenso wie der Ubrige Spitzenteil 16 die Führungsrinne 15 auf, so daß die Zunge 14 Gleichmäßig sowohl in dem Schaft 10 aks auch dem Spitzenteil 16 gefrhrt ist. Die Führungsrinne 15 kann in ihrer gesamten Linge zur Innenseite der Krümmung der Naqdelspitze hin offen sein. Die Zunge 14 des Kolbens 13 braucht nur so lang gewählt zu werden, daß sie gerade die Ausnchmung 17 fur den Faden 18 überdeckt. Aus Gründen de Führung und des Abschlusses der offenen Rinne 15 kann eine etwas längere Zunge 14 - wie dargestellt - zweckmäßig sein.The approach 19, like the rest of the tip part 16, has the guide channel 15 so that the tongue 14 evenly in both the shaft 10 and the tip part 16 is led. The guide channel 15 can in its entire length to the inside be open towards the curvature of the Naqdelspitze. The tongue 14 of the piston 13 needs to be chosen only so long that they just have the recess 17 for the thread 18 covered. For reasons of de leadership and the closure of the open channel 15 can be something longer tongue 14 - as shown - be appropriate.
Der vorgefertigt. Spitzenteil 16 wird zur Fertigung der Madel mit seinem Ansatz 19 in den Schaft 10 eingeschoben und anschließend erfolgt eine Verbindung im ich des freien Endes 12 des Schaftes 10 und des Absatzes an den Spitzenteil 16. Zweckmäßigerweise ist eine Hartlötung vorgeschen. Im Falle einer Nachbearbeitung kann eine Weichlötung zweckmäßig sein oder es finden sonstige geeignete Maßnahmen zur V*rbindung Anwendung.The prefabricated. Tip part 16 is used to manufacture the Madel its extension 19 is inserted into the shaft 10 and then a connection takes place in the I of the free end 12 of the shaft 10 and the heel on the tip part 16.
